"Guam stretches 30 miles from end to end and is home to just over 180,000 people. But when it comes to GOP intraparty politics, the tiny Pacific island carries as much weight as California. Indeed, places like Guam could make or break Michael Steele's bid for a second term as Republican National Committee chairman.
The RNC's 168 members—three from each of the 50 states, the District of Columbia, and the five island territories, including Guam—are scheduled to elect a chairman on January 14. The job is critical, as the chief will lead the committee through the 2012 election cycle. Steele faces a number of tough challengers."
